" I joined a birthday dinner party at Caló and wow, was I impressed! The atmosphere was sophisticated yet warm, with outstanding service. We were welcomed with complimentary chips and salsa that were delightful. I had the shrimp tacos, which were bursting with flavor. I particularly appreciated the seasonal cocktails on the menu. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, and I'm already reminiscing about my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Caló Kitchen + Tequila exceeded my expectations. We went on a busy Friday night, and even without a reservation, we were seated promptly at the bar. The bartender was knowledgeable and recommended some fantastic cocktails. The fish tacos were a highlight, perfectly cooked and seasoned. I appreciated the generous portion sizes. I felt the prices were fair for the quality of food and service provided. I will definitely revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience! We celebrated our anniversary here, and everything was flawless. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, which set the perfect tone for the evening. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful they were. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and the drinks were top-notch, especially the margaritas. I can't recommend this place enough for a special night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a small party at Caló Kitchen + Tequila, and they did not disappoint. The layout of the restaurant is perfect for gatherings, and our server was phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and well presented. My favorite had to be the grilled cactus salad — so fresh! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, which everyone appreciated. Minor concern: we had to wait a little longer for drinks. Overall, I would recommend it for group celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? My friends and I had a blast at Caló! The decor is so chic and inviting. We tried the ceviche, which was fresh and zesty, and the tacos were absolutely delightful. One of my friends ordered the vegetarian options and was very pleased with the flavor profiles. The drink selection is impressive; definitely get the Cadillac Margarita! Everything was excellent, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts about dining in a mall restaurant, but Caló really surprised me. The atmosphere felt upscale, unlike many other eateries around. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were cooked to perfection. The only disappointment was the black beans—they felt lacking in flavor. Service was prompt and friendly. I'd definitely return, especially for drinks and social gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)
